It is quite confusing. Why would they only let you have stuffed crust/cheesy bites on large if they aren't going to reimburse you?! Also if a second person is attending then do they have to have the exact guidlines specified by the notes too, or is it just me that has to follow those rules? Thanks for everyones input

If they are eating items that are included on your bill, and within the scope of the list that you have been told to order from, then yes they need to have the exact items just like you. If they are paying for themselves, then think they can eat what they like but are meant to order separately so it doesn't slow down the timings for your meal.

Do not do anything to p**s GAP off or they will not pay you. This includes not getting stuffed crust/cheesy bites. Do not move from your seat unless it is specifically authorised by GAP, e.g. to visit the toilet.

In my experience, a large pizza is more than enough for two people by the way, I wouldn't waste your money on ordering extra pizza, especially when you'll have a starter and a salad bowl too.

buying a pizza from the supermarket cannot be compared to mystery shopping.

why would anyone bother doing any jobs??? i can buy all the things ms companies want me to buy without having to fill a questionaire in afterwards.

juding by the number of pizza places around there are plenty of people going in there paying full price for the food. at least we get it free (or very little cost).

if you don't like it - don't do it! save the jobs for the rest of us.

Fine I don't like mass supply shop pizza.. And if your taking someone else you need to pay for theirs.

I do jobs for other companies for no fee but where the reimbursement buys something nice. I got a lovely necklace and got £55 reimbursed.

All I am saying is don't come on here moaning then about RE fees if you grab the jobs like there is no tomorrow.. The message you are giving RE is you don't mind no fee,reimbursement which doesn't cover the cost of the rubbish pizza and a mega report.

And I don't do MS'ing purely as an income. I enjoy it. I don't though enjoy being ripped off by RE and I hate the fact they are taking jobs from other much better companies.

Tonight I am doing a country wide frozen food shop. Fee is £5 and reimbursement is £10. Tomorrow I am doing 2 upmarket coffee shops. Fee again is £5 but I get a lovely coffee and a panini.

I am only giving my own opinion. Each to his own.

And Ellie good luck with the op.Make sure there are no pigs around the operating theatre. Let us know how it goes.

Is this correct:

"Host" = Greeter...person who shows you to your table
"Server" = waitress...person who takes your order, brings your food etc??

That's correct, full marks.

also, why no pineapple?! I'm baffled.

Cos that's just weird, that's why. Pineapple is for squeezing & drinking with gin

When I do GAP pizzas, I take OH with me. I have an average appetite and he has a huge appetite! We order a garlic bread, large cheesy bites pizza & salad bowl (amazing how much you can get in those if you try ) with two refill drinks, all to share and we find that it is plenty. It comes in at just 3 or 4 quid over the reimbursement in my area.

Or if you are lucky, they will forget to charge for the salad bowl, which happened on my first ever visit to them. Didn't notice till several days later, after I had answered that everything was accurate on the questionnaire - luckily for me, GAP didn't pick up on it either

No, pineapple is for teenage girlies to drink with Malibu. Freshly squeezed lime is best with gin (and it has to be Plymouth gin, any other make gives me heartburn and a headache!!!)

I hope there's someone on who can help me

I am in the middle of writing up an ABA-i report, and have got to the additional questions at the end. Two of then say beteen 250-750 characters, which is fine, but the other two don't say how many/few it should be, and I keep getting Please enter a value within the required parameters!

Any guesses anyone?!
